Saturday 14th September 2013  
  Despite nearly 700 British records, a truly twitchable Great Snipe has been very hard to come by in recent years, so a bird found in a ditch at Kilnsea, East Yorkshire will undoubtedly be very popular if it lingers, especially if it continues to show as well as it did this evening.

In County Kerry, the Elegant Tern remained in the Beal Point area on the south side of the Shannon Estuary.

Other new discoveries today included a Greenish Warbler on the Great Orme, Conwy, a Tawny Pipit at Abbotsbury and a Red-rumped Swallow at Middlebere, both Dorset, a Two-barred Crossbill at Grindon Lough, Northumberland and a Ferruginous Duck at Portrunny, Count Roscommon. New waders found included a Baird's Sandpiper in County Dublin and American Golden Plovers in County Derry (five), County Wexford (two) and County Mayo.
